Carol Perkins: What makes me happy

Previous Column: Serving Our Country

By Carol Perkins

I listen to podcasts while I'm driving. One of my favorites is "Literally" with Rob Lowe. Recently a guest was discussing his latest book, The Ikigai: The Japanese Secret To A Long And Happy Life by Francesc Miralles and Hector Garcia. I thought they were saying, IKY MAN." He talked about how we should find what we love to do and do it.

One of his "DO" things was having personal interactions, and during Covid, he was hospitalized three times for emotional/mental breakdowns. Being alone nearly killed him. When he came out of Covid, he studied in a monastery to be an ordained monk. Searching for happiness led him there.

After listening, I made a mental list of what I "Do" that makes me happy.

Study: Seniors and older Kentuckians face food insecurity

From Kaitlyn Jackson

The latest "State of Senior Hunger" data from Feeding America shows Kentucky has the fourth highest rate of food insecurity among adults aged 50 to 59 in the nation. Only Arkansas, Delaware and Oklahoma were found to have higher rates.

The study found that 6.9 percent of Kentucky seniors and 14.6 percent of older adults lacked regular access to enough food or had to make trade offs between food and other basic needs, such as medicine or housing. Kentucky also ranked seventh in the nation for seniors with very low food security, meaning these seniors are on the cusp of food insecurity.

Other key findings of the study include:
